in class essay

The one that i view differnetly now is how i feel about my family and how much they mean to me. Recently i went to jail. I only have a 21 day sentence and get out almost everyday for class so its not as bad as i thought execpt that i miss my family so much. I knew that my family meant alot to but i didnt really know how much tilll now. I've never been away from m family before. I never went to summer camp or anything like that. I would stay differnet places around town but i always knew they were just a phone call away if i wanted to go home. Now they're still a phone call away but only at certain times and they just can't come pick me up anymore. So my love for them has grown and got a lot stronger because of jail. I would have never thought that going to jail would effect me like this but now i understand what the meaning of family is. Its having people who love and care about you no matter what you put them through. I admit i wasn't the best kid in the world. I put my family thur hell with my drug problems and now i am paying for it but my family is still there. I never realized how much i put them trough til now. I think about all the horrible things I've done since i was 15. I'm glad i always had them to run back to. i really love them nd care about htem som much more than i did before. I guess before i just took them for grant. I hope i never do again.
